From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> There may be situations in which the in-kernel originator of an SKB cares about its wifi transmission status. To have that, set the wifi_acked[_valid] bits before freeing/orphaning the SKB if the destructor is set. The originator can then use it in there.
